Enough to be self-sufficient, actually. Gold, gas, oil, copper and other metals, together with tons of space for agriculture and food prodution. The country is so friggin' huge there are parts of it yet unexplored—mind you, this is world's 8th largest country. The Province of Buenos Aires alone is bigger than the entire UK. There's also many types of weather, from the near-tropical forest at the North to the almost Arctic climate at the South, with mountains, plains and everything in between. The country has a bit of everything. But then there is...

Corrupt liberal politicians? CheckCorrupt social democrat politicians? CheckCorrupt conservative politicians? CheckContaminating enterprises? CheckAgricultural monopolies? CheckDenying rights to native americans? CheckDestruction of local industry thanks to liberalization? CheckMultinationals more interested in exploiting all they can while investing little in the country? CheckGovernments that cause roughly one crisis every decade? CheckIncompetent labor unions? Check. At least we have plenty of them, unlike the US.Politicians wanting to distract the public with useless stuff? One "Check" isn't enough.Overall stupidity? Oh boy, the amounts of "Check"s we needA disappearing middle class? CheckRaging youth unemployment? Check

And this is one of Latin America's richest countries. Yet we are here, like sitting ducks.

That's true only if all classes die at the same time. From a purely marxian perspective, this is seen as the profundization of the inner contraditions of capitalist society, which is good from one hand, but on the other hand, it messes up those on the bottom.

"1 600 USD p/m is more than enough to save up and emigrate"

A flight from Buenos Aires to Spain or the United States is 1,000 dollars the cheapest. To London it's about 1,200. And then I'd have to account for housing, find a job, etc. It isn't nearly that easy.

No. It's not easy. And saving money nowdays is hardly an option, considering the state of the economy.

I refuse to believe that a five-star cruise amongst the most exclusive cruise ships for 7 days of inclusive food, swimming pools and other extras from Southampton to New York City will cost less (~900-1000) than a single-day flight from Buenos Aires to Lisbon.
